Synopsis A Parent's Guide to Helping a Child With Learning Disabilities by : Shola Ade

A learning disability (LD) is a group of disorders that negatively impact the ability to learn. Learning disabilities make it more challenging to learn how to read, write, do math, listen, and speak. Learning disabilities are lifelong conditions that can be very successfully managed, but never go away. Once you have a learning disorder, you have it for life. The term learning disability encompasses many different learning differences. The three main types of learning disabilities are: reading disabilities, written language disabilities, and math disabilities. Each type of LD can include several different disorders. Learning disabilities are successfully managed with proper identification and academic intervention. This book helps those parents who are going through this challenging situation with that is the time you need some straight up simple information and support.
